Author: Radomskyi Maksym VasyliovychMercedes 124 (full name Mercedes W124, since 91 E-class) was produced from 88 to 95. Almost all the interiors of this car were equipped with beautiful wood trim. But unfortunately there is nothing eternal, a lot of time has passed since this car was produced - about 20 years. The native wood has peeled off, the lacquer has cracked, everything has lost its appearance and shape ... Buying a used one is not an option, it will not be in much better condition. Exit - restoration.
wood effect hydrographic
This is what our specialists in hydrographics decided to do. This car came to us in '88. Everything was just in a terrible state - cracked varnish, broken plastic masks, plastered with oracal. The client came to glue the lining on the panel under the tree. After that, we showed him our work on hydrographics and offered the option of restoring his car. The color choice fell on a color that is very similar to the original. The catch in this work was that the client was from a completely different city. But we informed the client that we would deliver to him and send the finished products to his city. After that, our masters set to work. We carefully removed all the plastics that needed hydrographics. A lot of things were broken. We soldered and started preparing the surface for hydrographic printing .
The preparation process did not take much time, since the number of parts was not large. After the primer dried, we chose the color of the background (substrate), since a lot depends on it. After that, with the help of hydrographics, we transferred the texture of wood to our parts. After drying, all the details were hidden with 3 layers of varnish. It turned out very original. Unfortunately, there is no photo of the product on the car, since we sent all the details to the customer in another city. Aqua printing is a very beautiful tuning of a Mercedes 124. The cost of such work is about 800 UAH
